Hello, first of all I am not an English person so excuse my grammar 
So I have a Build:
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6850
GPU ASUS GeForce GT640 v3 Low Profile edition
MoBo Gigabyte GA G31M-es2l rev 2.0
RAM 2gb (2x1) One is Kingston and other is Corsair running at 667mhz (pc5300)
OS Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
And sometimes the screens gets black for 5 seconds, after it recovers I get a notification message saying: Display driver has stopped working and has recovered (it says something about Kernel mode I don't remember exactly)
Mostly happens when I am using firefox (which is no problem, but annoying). But also when I am in-game, the screen turns black followed by a complete crash of the game. I don't know anything more.
I tried several methods:
Like re installing the DirectX 11
Adding the Registry Key that Microsoft has provided on it's page.
Switching to older drivers, updating them again and such. But absolutely nothing has helped me solve it.
On Windows 8.1 Pro 32-bit it NEVER happened but I had to switch it because I changed my motherboard. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit right after that and it happened like every 5 minutes, regardless of when I was on firefox, game or not. I installed Windows 7 64-bit to see if it would solve it. But still nothing, and then I installed Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit but it happens less frequently now. Yeah switching so many OSs bust have been a pain
Sorry for the long thread but I'd like to provide as much information as I could
